Mike Redmond

From wire services -

Yankees manager Joe Torre said he would wait for results of an MRI exam Posada is scheduled to have today, an off day, before deciding whether to add a catcher to the 25-man roster.

If it turns out that Jorge Posada will be out for a month of longer, I hope the Yankees call the Twins and make an offer for Mike Redmond.

Nothing crazy, of course. I would start with Wil Nieves and Colter Bean. If that's not enough, I would throw in some cash.

Redmond is not a great player. But, he's probably going to offer more at the plate than Kelly Stinnett.

And, the way the Twins are going this year, losing Redmond is not going to matter to them at all.

Acc. to the Times, Posada has a torn knee tendon. They're going to see how it reacts over the weekend but it seems likely he's headed for the DL. On the good news front, Pavano might resume pitching in 3 weeks!! At this rate, he'll be ready for the '08 campaign!

Poor Matt Smith. They finally do the right thing and get him back with the big club, and now he has to go right back so they can bring up a catcher. I'd rather them keep Smith and get rid of Long.
